New Nuclear Trash Technology

Matthew discusses the economic impact of a new nuclear disposal technology.

At current companies have to pay large amounts of money to store, and ensure that the spent fuel rods produced by the reactors they run are well contained to prevent radio-active fallout from impacting the area around the storage sites.

With a higher supply it is guarantee that the cost will drop saving the consumers money.
